-- companion to "Why do you believe it's okay to use language like that?" -- is:

Why do you find it appropriate to call women who disagree with you "crazy"?

I grew up in the 50s and 60s, and I'm a feminist by choice and a fair bit of work.

And I haven't felt the need to say "I'm not a man hater" since about 1970, and then it was just because I was very young and hanging around with Trots and bought their lines for a couple of months.

To hear you talk, one would think that the rest of us, or some of us anyhow, are man haters ...

So much crud in one so short post.

Not a good foot to start off on here, I'd say.
